Growth and Antioxidant Responses of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) to Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Inoculation and Seaweed Extract Foliar Application

Farzad Rasouli et al.

Summary: The study found that the co-application of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and seaweed extract (SWE) can promote the growth and antioxidant potential of lettuce plants. The co-application resulted in the highest growth parameters and biochemical traits, as well as increased total antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid, total phenolics, and flavonoids content compared to the control.

Sustainable Production of Tomato Plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under Low-Quality Irrigation Water as Affected by Bio-Nanofertilizers of Selenium and Copper

Mohamed M. Saffan et al.

Summary: Utilizing low-quality water sources in agriculture for irrigation can address water shortage, but excessive use may pose risks to the environment and human health. This study found that irrigating tomato plants with saline water and using nano-copper fertilizer can increase yield and quality, but also lead to accumulation of salts and organic matter in soil. Salinity stress from irrigation water reduces enzymatic antioxidants in plants and biological activity in soil.

Silicon influenced ripening metabolism and improved fruit quality traits in apples

Evangelos Karagiannis et al.

Summary: Silicon application in apple trees promotes fruit ripening traits such as fruit firmness and apple peel color attributes, while inducing changes in nutrient and metabolic levels in various plant tissues. Additionally, silicon enhances the accumulation of total phenolic and anthocyanin compounds in apple tissues, as well as affecting the levels of primary metabolites in a tissue-specific manner.

Effects of Seaweed Extracts on the Growth, Physiological Activity, Cane Yield and Sucrose Content of Sugarcane in China

Diwen Chen et al.

Summary: Seaweed extracts (SEs) are widely used as biostimulants in crop management due to their growth-promoting and stress-resistant effects. Spraying SEs during the early elongation stage plays a vital role in promoting sugarcane growth and improving the efficiency of nutrient utilization, with better yield-increasing effects observed in years with less rainfall. Additionally, spraying SEs at the M stage can increase sucrose content and enzyme activity, contributing to higher cane yield and sucrose accumulation, especially under drought stress conditions.
